MASKING Masher.
A young masher walking up and down
the platform of railway station in Scotland
with a companion who had come to see him
off observed two handsome girls enter first
class carriage. Look here" he said to his
companion, who did not pay much atten-
ton to his dress, "Pll get into that same
compartment, and I'll tell you what want
you to do. When the train is about to start,
you come up and touch your hat, and say to
me, My lord, the guns and dogs are in the
van.'" His companion smiled assent, but
said he doubted if he could do it it with the
proper air of nobleman's servant. The
masher took his seat with lordly air in the
same carriage with the young ladies whose
interest he wished to excite. The moment
arrived and the train began to move when
his companion came up to the carriage win
dow. "Hey, Jock" he shouted, 'tell your
master to be sure to send thae breeks O.
mine by Saturday"
